This thread has encouraged me to look for the Dummies book. I confess to
having just rekindled an interest in harmonicas that goes back through many
years of inactivity. What got me started was the Dummies' counterpart in the
Complete Idiot's series by William Melton and Randy Weinstein. I don't care
for the title of either book, but I can say in the case of the latter that
the book is well worth whatever I paid for it. I'm looking forward to the
Dummies. BTW - I also got a hold of Steve Baker's book on the diatonic harp,
also a terrific book.
